( Can I join in??)
(At any time)

The shout shocked Katta into action, she promptly jumped up, fumbled about the foliage for no reason, then lost her footing and was once again barely saved by her control over the forces of motion. She looked about, and saw Strife. And he was carrying a gun.

"S---!" Katta cursed, then scuttled off into near-by brush, her panicked movements making her a painful obvious sight to all.

"Someone's there."

Is it hostile?

Strife goes to one knee and aims in the direction of the bushes.

"Identify yourself!"

Katta remained perfectly still, hoping that the person would go away. She was still breathing heavily though, and since she had come from a school-based anime, she didn't know that her breathing was still giving her away...

Back Story:

From a galaxy far, far away... *plays epic star wars music*

It's been ten thousand years since the failure of the New Republic and Emporer-Palpatine's-Failed-Attempt-at-Governing-the-Galaxy, now, thanks to several overly ambitious Sith Lords, the force has diminished to a fraction of old potency. To the consternation of Jedi and Sith alike -- the force was simply not what it used to be.

Igon Drakk, a renowned bounty hunter, was commissioned by the Unified Greater Empire Rebel Governing Body to eliminate both Sith and Jedi alike. The Sith were just mangy little bastards and the Jedi were cowards that wouldn't fight against the Vozongh-something-or-some-others from the outside of the Galaxy.

Right now Igon Drakk enters into the Star Ship of the famous Jedi Galen Galacha... who is notorious for fleeting the governing body's wishes.


How he got there:

"Come out Jedi... Make this easy for both of us and let me put a blaster to your head." Igon Drakk said. He scanned the cargo bay. He spent an hour playing blaster-versus-lightsaber-footsie with the Jedi and neither of them had managed to kill the other. That was until Igon wounded the Jedi in the foot and the coward fled into the hold. Igon stepped carefully and peered into the shadows around him. He thought he heard a foot step and whirled to face it -- but it was only air. Igon cursed softly.

After a time he gave up and decided to ram the ship into the nearest black hole, which was in range. After putting stuffing a well placed plastic explosive into the control console, he left the area and detonated it. The ship was going no where else. He had parked his ship in one of the spare docking bays and went he went to go get in --

"Looking for me?" The Jedi, who was in his cock pit in his ship. "Too bad." And then the ship lifted off and Igon Drakk was left on a ship headed into a black hole.

He ran into the flight deck, but he had damaged the controls beyond repaid. There were no repair droids on the ship that he knew of.

"Oh s--"

That would have been the end of Igon Drakk, but the universe is a mysterious place. Instead of being crushed to death by the ginormous gravity of a black hole Igon was pulled and stretched every way imaginable. His bones were broken and set a thousand times. His molecules were assembled and disassembled a thousand times. He couldn't pass out from the unbearable pain, and he couldn't go back either.

So instead of dying like any other lucky son-of-a-bitch, he found himself crash landed on a jungle planet with plenty of oxygen, plenty of bamboo, and plenty of wild and savage animals.

Great. Igon thought as he stumbled out of the wreckage. His armor was damaged, his ranged weapons probably destroyed, and all he had left was a mono-molecular knife. He stood short and stout, with cold blue eyes and brown hair. His face was an assortment of callouses and scars and his teeth gleamed of some hard and durable metal. Right now, his face was twisted in pain.

And he was pissed off. Royally pissed off.

"Joy. Another explosion."

 Some sort of space battle? With ships of such a quality that they don't care about getting into range of a planet's grav field? Maybe a Dr. Device run? Fuck, that was bad.

"Bloody hell. I do hope that I'm wrong."

I'll spend another hour here, then half an hour to the other craft, then about an hour and a half to look at the wreckage and stuff before I'll have to start making camp.

"HELLO?!"

Igon stumbled a bit forward, then gave up and sat down.
"Where... is this place?" He looked around, grimaced in pain. Then he heard another voice.
"HELLO?"
The word was in Basic. Sounded like a human male. Igon waited. He was no condition to be walking around. He scooted painfully over to the nearest rock and waited.

(You might want to make some noise Petra. Else, Strife might take awhile to complete his survey of the woods).

She had been crudely stalking the shouting man for about an hour, using her control over gravity to allow her to hover soundlessly in the air and levitate after him. There was an alien thing, and the guy she had been stalking. She sighed and alighted on a tree, to watch.

Igon stretched out a bit, groaning. Then he grabbed some bamboo by the stalk and began to cut it. He cursed a bit, then groaned again. He cut it in half and sharpened the ends.
"So... IS ANYONE OUT THERE?"

Okay then there are at least two other people here. The one that has been folllowing me for a while and whoever is shouting at me. I'm sure that I couldn't peg the trailer right now, but I have to be sure to keep him in mind. Fun rescue operation this is.


"GREAT! I'M GOING TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SOUND OF YOUR VOICE. I NEED YOU TO TRY TO SHOUT EVERY TWO MINUTES OR SO. HOW BADLY ARE YOU HURT?"

Strife started moving in the aproxamate direction that the sound had came from. He went faster than before, but still cuatiously.

"I CAN MOVE BUT EVERYTHING HURTS LIKE I WAS EATEN BY A RANCOR."

So there was Igon, sitting next to a rock, sharpening some bamboo spears and generally wondering if the pain in his body was ever going to go away. He was still pissed. Missing the Jedi like that put a sore hurting on his ego.
Still... what planet was this?

Rancor. Rancor. Rancor. It rings a bell but I can't put my finger on it. Oh well.


"DON'T HURT YOURSELF FURTHER. I'LL BE THERE IN ONE MINUTE."

Strife, getting a better fix on the location, moved a bit faster.

Euprydi was in a bad mood. This was because he was covered in soil. This was because he was digging down through the jungle's not insubstantial soil layer, in order to reach the vein of iron-bearing ore below.
This, of course, was so that he could make some civilized things, which lead to escape from this barren world.
He scooped another two handfuls of dirt onto the crate on his back, and climbed out of the pit. It had fairly flat sides, more slopes than walls, as that the soft earth would not collapse. He had by now reached the more rocky level, and was clearing an area to set up his equipment.
He reached the surface level. Here he dumped the muck from his back into a wooden mold. When it was full, he placed a board upon the top, and pushed it down, compacting the soil into a nice flat brick like substance. He removed it, and placed it along side a stack of similair. The soil mats would be good for retaining heat once he built a furnace. He then dragged from its temporary resting place a jumble of wood and vine, which he took down the pit to the bare rock (technically rockier layer), where he rammed the supporting poles into the earth, strung the vine around the pulleys, and started digging.


(So it's a solo mining operation. Sue me. For clarity,
It is, of course, open to visitors.
Do not fear, Euprydi will not spend all his time doing boring stuff like digging he shall soon (once he's got some metal tools) go out helper and interesting stuff hunting. For now, however, he believes this place to be a world devoid of intelligence, lost fairies and school girls being not the stuff of civilization)

Looking up, the glassy human spoke

"It seems like some frends from the united terran district will soon be joining you, unless there's a forge district on this world...

Anyway, my name would be Verrin. Continuing with your activities might be an idea, although I would sugest you to hand that broken piece of artifice to me for a moment..."
